Hi ms Edwards! I love your books the other countess, the queen's lady and the rogue's princess. I have been reading your books since I was twelve and they've inspired me to write my own story that is set in the Tudor era. I think that you are a truly amazing writer! I have been writing for four years now and have been greatly inspired by your writing. You are one of my favorite authors alongside the Brontë sisters and Jane Austen. I hope that you will be releasing a new historical fiction soon! Laura :D

Thanks Laura. Do take a look at the competition page and enter to win a free signed copy of one of my books.

hello ms edwards! i love the books i read all three! im 12 years old what age do you think should be reading these books? and my fav book was the queens lady i read my fav bit every night! thanks again for writing the books!

They are teen books so you almost qualify. If you are OK reading things like the Twilight series, you won't find anything more advanced in these in terms of teen material.

Just a question what is a shift

An undergarment - like a nightdress but worn under day clothes.

Dear Ms Edwards I have just had the pleasure of completing your novel The Other Countess and I must say I found it utterly delightful. I assure you it has become my favourite novel thus far. It was brilliantly written with layers of emotion. I am thankful that there are authors like you blessed with beautiful storytelling. Lulu

Thank you so much, Lulu. Do look out for the others.

Hi Ms. Eve, I am completely astounded. I really do love your books, and it's just so amazing and shocking that you could write such beautiful stories in different genres under different pen name and totally write it so engagingly.I admire you so much. Thank you.

Thanks, Cerisse.

Dear Lady Eve, now I am almost through with The Queen's Lady and yes, I can assure you, I feel equally smitten with Lady Jane, whom I know already from The other countess of course. What a brave Lady and what a disgusting french b*****d you wrote for her to test her ...Hahaha ;) Well, my heart still is with Ellie although Jane is nearly as lovely as Ellie. Lets see what Mercy will be like... the book isnt translated into German yet and I do not know if will read it in English, we'll see... In the meanwhile I will do my very best to sell your books in Germany. Thank you again for writing such beautiful books!

Dear Eve! Thanks for your help with the e-book problem! Have you got a favourite film or tv series? I enjoy watching all the old tv programmes like Bewitched, The Good Life, Dad's Army... I'm writing a book that has been floating inside my head for ages! How and where do you start your books? I've already written a plan out of the book just to see the most important things I have to write about! Have you got any other tips? Lots of love BEA XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Hi Bea I like Sherlock and Dr Who at the moment - largely because of the writing. Books emerge - I get an idea then think about it for a while, taking notes as I go. Everyone will have their own approach but I don't like to have too strict a plan before I start writing.

Beatrice wrote on 04 February 2012:

Hello Eve!!! For Christmas I got an Sony E-reader and I was just hoping you could help me beacuse I'm not really good with technology! I wanted to know if I can still download your books like the Middle Passage etc... from Amazon even if I haven't got their kindle? Thanks for you help! Love BeaXXXXXXXXXXXX

Middle Passage is also on iTunes. There are instructions on the Middle Passage page which include the Sony.

Hello kind Lady, I am neither a girl nor a lady and I very seldom read historical fiction unless it is classical stuff like Austen, Dickens etc. BUT once I started "The other countess" I couldnt put it down. Totally awesome! It is really the best young adult romantic historical adventure I have read since long. Well done, Mylady, well done! With regards, Josh Bookseller from Germany and in love with Lady Eleanor -Sigh!;)

My dear sir, I am so glad you enjoyed reading The Other Countess. I hope you feel equally smitten with Lady Jane and Mercy from my next two books. Your servant Eve

I understand. Thank you for explaining yourself.

Kara wrote on 21 January 2012:

I was very disappointed about this book. I stopped after the beginning of chapter 2, I don't really think it's appropriate. It's a shame that people consider that "teen" reading. I'm just offering my opinion, I'm not trying to be mean.

Thanks for taking the time to contact me. The book is very mild in its treatment of sex and language - nowhere near as bawdy as Shakespeare! Teen books move the bar higher than children's fiction (which I also write) so some mention of sexual relationships, without being explicit, are usually thought unremarkable, as you would also expect in a PG-13 movie.

Hi eve! I regrettably read 'The Queen's Lady' before 'The Other Countess' without realising, however I thoroughly enjoyed it and thus asked for the first book for Christmas! Since unwrapping it I couldn't put it down and have just in the last few minutes finished it! I can't WAIT to read the third, these books are so gripping! I would love a fourth to be written! They should definitely be made into films<3

Thanks Ellie!

Eve, is the new era anything to do with the Queen's Coronation, as it is her Diamond Jubilee in 2013? Katie xx

No, it is for a centenary that is coming up fast.

Katie wrote on 23 December 2011:

My God Eve! You are a miracle worker to me; mixing history and literature together to get such an amazing combination. I must've read each book at least a thousand times over and I've fallen in love with every character; sympathising with the women, and admiring the courage of the men. You would make me the happiest fifteen year old girl ever if would write a book about Tobias and how each of the couples are getting on. We know Will and Ellie have a little boy, Wilkins, and a little girl and James and Jane have a baby in the third book but we know no more. Thank you so much Eve! Katie, 15, Kent

Thanks Katie. I would like to do so but it will depend on the publisher. I've saved 1588 for him...

The other countess is my favourite book!! I read it while on holiday at the beach in january and loved it. I have read the queens lady and the rouges princess and also loved them!! I am currently reading the other countess again because i loved it so much. My friend borrowed it and didn't give it back for over 6 months i just really wanted it back because she didn't even read it and finally last weekend she gave it back and i couldn't resist reading it again!! I hope there will be more books to come because you are an amazing writer and i adore your books!! From Sarah Hodge, Mt. Beauty, Victoria, Australia!! :)

Thanks Sarah. Have a great summer Christmas!

HI the other countess is the best book i've read in a long time it was fantastic the others are great too. I can't wait for you to write some more.

Dorothea wrote on 24 November 2011:

Hi Eve, Are you under the pen name Julia Golding and Joss Stirling too? Or am I mistaken? I love your stories... they just transfer me into a totally different world, and I just adore them.

Hi That's right - I do use the other names. Julia Golding is fiction for 9 upwards; Joss is teen paranormal romance.

I'm almost done with The Other Countess! I'm reading it for "Young Adult Choices" {YAC} Ive never been able to read things that are written in a more proper style {like Nancy Drew}, but this book sucked me in. I can relate to most of the characters. I want a will of my own! When I'm done with this book I'll probably cry because it is so good! I cant wait till the new books!! Your style is unique and I like it :) thanks :D
